SLICING 3D MODELS
Figure 3.3: Slic3r program window
Slicing settings in Slic3r are organized into three sections: Print Settings, Filament Set-
tings, and Printer Settings. The detailed explanation of all parameters in these sections is
available from the Slic3r Manual (http://manual.slic3r.org/). Some configuration examples
are provided on our website for you to start with your Artifex 2 3D Printer. The process
below shows how to import such configuration files into Slic3r to slice your 3D models. Once
you get more familiar with the Slic3r program and the printing process, you can tweak slicing
parameters to meet your specific needs for different models.
•
Download a slicing configuration file, for example Artifex2 PLA.ini, from our website,
and save it to your computer’s Desktop or a location of your choice.
•
In the Slic3r program window, click “File
→
Load Configure...” (Figure 3.4), and
select the downloaded file Artifex2 PLA.ini.
